General:

• Summer Event Buyback Store:
  • Added the ability to purchase R&D Packs and Upgrade Tech in bulk, up to 20 at a time.
  • Reduced Starship Emote shared cooldowns from 10 seconds to 6 seconds.
• Foundry: Updated the Herald NPC Groups so that all of them are actually Heralds, and not those Bluegill impostors.
• Resolved an issue where occasionally when a Duty Officer project failed, the project would disappear.
  • It will now go into the Completed category to allow the player to acknowledge them as failed.
• Resolved an issue where chests and arms of male Remans were sometimes missing.
   

Systems:

• Reduced the server performance impact of several types of powers.
  • These changes do not alter how these powers function.
• Manheim Device: Disabled healing interactions with past and future self in order to prevent excessive latency when interacting with certain Starship Traits.
  • This functionality may be restored at some point in the future, but was removed to improve server performance.
     

Content:

• Episodes “Blood of Ancients” and “Delta Flight” have been moved into the level 60 journal tab The Iconian War.
• "Brotherhood of the Sword":
  • The Syndicate operative for the optional objective now should start with full health when he begins following the players for extraction.
    • This should make cases where players triggered the escort and he immediately dies less common.
    • Players will still need to kill any Heralds that target him in order to keep him alive.
  • The information for this queue in Advanced and Elite now accurately states the crafting reward is Craylon Gas.
• The Federation freighter group in the Xarantine Sector is back.
   

Known Issues:

• Occasionally, when accepting a new Episode, the sub tasks under the episode name will not initially appear in the mission tracker.
• All ranks/qualities of Ambush Kit Modules above Green have the same effectiveness.
• Many special commodity Duty Officer missions such as Haggle or Shortage assignments are missing in the Alpha Quadrant.
